I'm a Broken Record
Another fantastic day for the Georgia Senate. They tabled a nasty secrecy bill. From what I understand, Democratic members were basically taunting Republican members that were wavering on how to vote, asking them if they really wanted to vote for the bill that would end their political careers. I talked to Senators Golden and Adelman later in the day, and both were giddy about the proceedings on the floor of the Senate. When you think about what these guys are able to do with 22 members, it makes you salivate over the prospect of 28, 26, even 24 Democrats in the Senate.
I have heard one thing that frustrates the Republican leadership, specifically Sen Eric Johnson, the presiding officer of the body, is the effectiveness of the Democratic caucus. I remember how focused and determined the Republicans were when they were in the minority with similar numbers, and these Democrats would do the old flag waiving Eric Johnson proud.

It's amazing what happens when a small group of senators or representatives stick together on an issue. Much like what has happened with the Soc Sec mess in DC, look at how the Repub spin machine was broken down.
The same thing on this secrecy bill with the editorials around the state combined with the senators rallying together. Now THAT's a caucus.
